Today, at about 11:00 the residents of North and Main Avenues, Kozern
and Firdus Districts, as well as the owners of Dalma gardens initiated
a rally of complaint.

The residents of the capital assembled opposite the National Assembly
with the posters, "Go away, thieves!" "Civil Disobedience," "Put
the law on alienation of property for Public and state needs into
mass discussions" etc. The rally participants urged the NA deputies
to vote down the draft law on "Alienation of Property for State and
Public Needs" during the third hearings.

The residents were indignant at the prime minister’s announcement
made yesterday. "In reply to a journalist’s question "what the
prime minister will do in case people go on strikes and demand his
resignation", Mr. Margaryan answered it doesn’t go in line with the
constitutional. Does his treatment with us comply with the law?" says
Vachagan Hakobyan, former resident of North Avenue.

By the way, On Thursday, at 11:00, the above-mentioned residents are
going to demand the government’s resignation.

The draft law on "Alienation of Property for Public and State Needs"
wasn’t passed after the second hearing.

Over 73 deputies participated in the voting – 69 deputies voted for
the bill and there were 4 abstentions.
